mp3 The Word of God

1 Peter 1:23-25 (KJV) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

FOUR THINGS ABOUT THE BIBLE

1. THE BIBLE IS THE INCONSTESTIBLE WORD OF GOD

1 Peter 1:23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever

Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

When The Bible Speaks, God Speaks

If it is the Word of God, then it is perfect.

2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Proverbs 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Matt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

God gave the bible the same name as he gave his son.

1 Peter 1:23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Jesus And The Bible Are Not Identical, But They Are Inseparable

Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen;

Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The Bible Is Powerful, Not Like Any Other Book

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

2. THE BIBLE IS THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD OF GOD

1 Peter 1:23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

3. THE BIBLE IS THE INDESTRUCTIBLE WORD OF GOD

1 Peter 1:23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

4. THE BIBLE IS THE INDESPENSIBLE WORD OF GOD

The bible provides God message to the church. The bible, cover to cover, tells of the Gospel. From Genesis to Revelation.
The bible is to be preached. The bible prescribes the method, it is to be preached!

1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

The bible produces the churches members.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

The Word of God produces church members. A regenerate church membership.
